Default I was in your shoes
I had a 5.0 Liter Efi in mine. 225bhp allegedly and it felt tame. So much so, I wouldn’t take my car buddies out in it. I looked high and low, but couldn’t find a fix. I think the ideal ‘driver’ Cobra has 400-450 hp. I changed mine to an FE, but that was for other reasons. If I was in your position and decided I liked the car enough to keep it (sounds questionable IMO) and just wanted more go, I’d stop wasting your time, give you old motor to a reputable builder and have a budget 331 or 347 built.
